The second book in Ed McDonald''s Redwinter Chronicles, Traitor of Redwinter is full of deadly politics, ancient powers . . . and a young woman navigating a world in which no one is quite what they seem.

Raine is a member of the Draoihn, a sect of powerful magic users who hold the realm together in precarious balance. But Raine has a secret. She can see the dead, and her forbidden magic could get her killed by the very people she counts as friends.

As Raine works desperately to hide her gift, rebellious lords across the land threaten anarchy in the wake of the king''s failing health, and she is pulled into a web of treachery and deceit even the most powerful of magic users would struggle to navigate.

Raine might be the one person who could hold back the impending chaos. For the lords are backed by dark powers they do not understand. If certain doom is to be avoided, Raine will need to embrace her terrible magic and discover how powerful she could truly become.
